Ten Commandments, The

In the Top Ten series of games you and your friends change some of the more pivotal documents in history. Each player takes on a secret agenda. Changing these historical documents to match their agendas will score players more points. Play as the loud-mouthed talk radio host, the militant protester, the greedy economist, or dozens of other personalities, struggling to recreate these bits of history in line with your own values, goals, and agendas. Once you know your own secret agenda, compromise, cajole, and convince your fellow players to support the amendments you favor. Can you predict what goals your opponents are striving for? Or will you be left behind as the other players re-writen them to match their goals?

Both “The Ten Commandments” and “The Bill of Rights” are sure to inspire many hours of lively debate with your friends and family. All Top Ten games use the same bidding and card mechanics, but introduce whole new sets of factions, goals, and personalities.
